shots on his little plastic basketball hoop off the wall. they taped this at his house and some other places. but then he went on the "today" show which is live. and he missed a lot of shots. quite a few of them, after which i suggested maybe the video had been cleverly edited to make him look good. i can be very cynical when it comes to you toob. his father saw me say that. he made a video to which he challenged me to a shoot-out with titus and i have accepted that challenge. tonight i will play basketball against a baby. [ applause ] that's a little bit later. before we get to that, i have some very important kardashian news to report. there are rumors going around that kim kardashian might leave her show, keeping up with the kardashians after the upcoming eighth and ninth seasons and there are also rumors that bruce

jenner's face might fall off. these rumors stemmed from an interview she just did. she said her boyfriend kanye west has taught her a lot about privacy. she said that to a writer who was printing it in a magazine. she said i'm realizing that everyone doesn't need to know everything. well, it might be too late for that realization. [ laughter ] then she said, and make sure to check out pictures of my hot new fetus. if she does leave the kardashian show, it would create a vacuum for the e network. they're a resourceful bunk there. they are testing something if the unthinkable happens and kim goes away. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: it might get better. as you are undoubtedly aware,

the oscars are airing live this sunday on abc. the ceremony takes place right across the street from us. i know this sounds like a cliche but it is an honor just to be located across the street from them. it really is. there's an interesting contest going on in the best actress category. both the youngest and oldest actresses are competing. the one is only 9, which it makes your kids' performance as tree number two in the school play seem a little less impressive. right? emanuel reeva who is nominated is 85 years old. she said if she doesn't win, she's threatening to die during the broadcast. which will ruin the montage. there are very few african-americans nominated for the awards. it is a very caucasian award this year. why, i'm not sure. i visited my friends down the street at legends barber shop to get their thoughts on the oscars.

hey, everybody, what's happening? good to see you. >> how is everything? >> good, good. >> have you been celebrating black history month? >> yeah, all month. >> all month. >> i want to ask some questions about the oscars and the academy awards. just to get your thoughts on it. how many black oscar nominees are there, do you know? >> we got denzel. >> now the 9-year-old. what's her name? >> quivery? wallace. she's 9, you know. >> jango. anyone dislike it? spike lee said he didn't like it. >> he didn't make it. >> i was mad that we, like every year we look for the big blockbuster movies around christmas time. and we normally have a will smith movie or something like

that. and we had slaves and orphans. >> what you're really looking for is a black buster movie. >> that's what we want. the funny thing about jango in the theaters, the black people are already laughing. all the others are waiting. is it okay? like, like the third or fourth n word. then a little giggle there and see how it goes over. >> there is a stereo type about black people that yell at the screen in the movie. i'll be honest, i've never experienced that. i've never seen that happen. >> anything with them in it, i guarantee you. >> magic johnson? >> go to like the magic johnson walmart. they'll scream at you over your stuff. >> what's the number one most yelled at the screen movie of all time? >> boys in the hood. >> ricky! [ yelling ] >> go sideways, son, go

sideways! >> you want him to live. >> you see ice cube, sorry about your brother, man. he's like, what the hell are you talking about? >> did everyone see lincoln? >> yeah. why couldn't they find an american actor to play him? >> i don't understand why they made such a big deal about the vampires and stuff. >> no, no. >> a different movie. >> the wrong lincoln movie. >> that was the best movie of the year! >> who was the greatest african-american actor of all time? man or woman? >> samuel jackson. >> who do you think is the greatest actor? >> barack obama. >> actor? >> barack obama. >> why do you say that? >> he can be nice, impossible. it's impossible. >> you're not buying it? >> i'm not buying it. last month of his last term he's going to start slapping people. just slapping people all over

the place. [ laughter ] >> no, no. >> not until morgan freeman dies. >> just go through some of the nominees. i'll show you a picture and you give me your thoughts on first of all, this guy right here. silver linings play book. >> that is not ben affleck. >> bradley cooper. >> hangover guy, right? >> hangover. >> yeah, he did good. >> here's another one. >> ben affleck. >> there you go! >> this is a movie -- >> that guy is funny. >> that guy is funny. >> seymour somebody. >> do you know what his movie was this year? >> the master mind or something? >> the master. >> none of you saw that? >> you know we ain't going to see no movie called the master. >> we want jango.

>> thank you, guys. i really appreciate that. i appreciate getting the perspective that i don't have. because i don't know if you guys know this, but i'm white. >> you're white in. >> you have a lot of black friends. >> thank you very much. >> that's right. >> it shows. >> well, thank you, black friends. >> not a problem.

work. i have real good memories of picking up shards of rocket. yeah. >> jimmy: that's not covered on your homeowner's insurance. >> no. >> jimmy: you were out of your pocket when something like that happens. >> that was rough. >> jimmy: and on top of this, this capsule would be, this would be for a manned mission. >> yeah. that's actually our cargo capsule. we're developing a version two of our dragon spacecraft which will be a big step forward. so this comes in by a parachute to a water landing. like the apollo era. but this will land pro pulsively with landing gear, it will land on its engines. >> and you can use it again. >> absolutely. >> jimmy: this is the interior of your proposed spacecraft. how long would those people be sitting like that? >> typically the trip to the space station would take less than a day once we have --

>> jimmy: less than a day. oh, yeah. what do you do when you get to the space station? it seems like 45 minutes goes by and you want to go back home. >> right. well, you know, flying around in zero g can be quite interesting. >> jimmy: do you want to go up there? >> i do. >> jimmy: why haven't you? are you not convinced that the technology is safe? >> i'm not crazy. not crazy enough, i suppose. i do want to go at some point. and it is probably not a good idea for the co to be the test pilot but i really want -- >> jimmy: probably not. would a human survive on the rocket that you're launching next week? >> they would actually. so what a lot of people don't maybe realize is that if someone were to stowaway on our spacecraft, they could go to the space station and back and be okay as long as the trip worked. if somebody stowed away on our last flight, they would have been okay. >> jimmy: sounds like a plot to

a larry the cable guy movie. hello! >> surprise. >> jimmy: like whoa. >> jimmy: they shouldn't. >> no, no. if they did, it's a great way to experiment. just for a laugh, on the very first test flight of dragon, we launched a giant wheel of cheese and sent it to orbit and back. >> jimmy: did you taste it when it came back? >> no. it didn't look right. >> jimmy: that's not a good sign. >> it was from beverly hills cheese shop. it was the biggest wheel of cheese that they had. >> jimmy: how much did it cost you to send that wheel of cheese to space? yeah, about $100 million. >> yeah. >> jimmy: maybe one of your many goals is to colonize mars. >> yeah. i think a future where we're a space faring civilization is far more exciting. and it has the side benefit of ensuring if there is a calamity

on earth that humanity will continue. >> jimmy: is that a good idea? just in case we destroy this earth, we have a fresh new earth that we can all go to so do whatever you want. like telling a kid if you wreck the car, i'm going to buy you a new tesla. >> yeah. i'm certainly not suggesting complacency with regard to the earth that we live in but i think that, that is, the thing that most excites me is this idea that we want to be a space faring organization. we want to be out there exploring the stars. that's a future that's exciting and the kind of future that would make you want to look forward to getting up in the morning. >> jimmy: it is exciting to hear stuff like that. i never really feel a part of it. like i can barely put gasoline into my car. you know, it's something -- >> i have a suggestion on that front. >> jimmy: just plug it in? >> yeah. >> jimmy: that's a good idea. that i could do. what if we get to mars and it sucks? >> yeah. mars is a fixer-upper of a

planet. i have to tell you that. it is. there's a little work required. but i do think that over time, we can make mars as livable as earth. it is going to take some work. it is called terraforming. people have written books about it but i think over time we can make it just like earth. >> jimmy: would we have television up there? . >> absolutely. >> jimmy: i think i would love to have the first talk show on mars. would you go? would mexico ans be allowed on mars? >> everyone. >> jimmy: wow! this is a whole new world you're opening up here. literally. there are so many thing you're involved in. i know you're involved with solar city, solar power for homes and businesses. you've got the electric car, tesla, the motor trend car of the year which is about as big an award as you can possibly get. i have to say. you really make us feel bad about ourselves. are you working on anything

crazy? have you thought about time travel or anything like that? >> i don't think time travel is possible. but there is -- >> jimmy: so pessimistic. >> but there is this thing, this idea that i have called the hyper loop. >> jimmy: i've heard of this. when are you going to publish the paper better the hyper loop? >> i think i should probably get tesla profitable before i publish stuff about the hyper loop. otherwise people may think i'm getting distracted on side projects. i should keep my eye on the ball. >> jimmy: but let us know about the hyper loop. i don't know what it is but i want part of it. yep. it is great to meet you. if you want to watch the launch, why would not you want to watch it? on march 1st, go to space x.com. when we come back, music from the mowgli's.
